Cuneo was charged with third-degree larceny and held on a $5,000 bond. He was arraigned later that day.

Cuneo is suspected of taking equipment and tools from Home Depot and Lowe's stores throughout the state, police said.

Cuneo was seen on a security video camera on March 16 taking four leaf blowers from in front of the Fairfield store. On July 29, a wood chipper was taken from the front of the store and, in June, an aerator and riding mower were taken, police said.
